Overview

A cute, mostly for kids game of trying to get through a castle and get to the exit. Movement is done by matching cards in your hand to spaces on the board. First one out, wins! This game was basically a remake of the game Dark Shadows, also by Whitman. The "Barnabas" and "Vampire" cards were replaced with "Creature" and "Monster" cards in this version. The layout of the paper gameboard was also slightly changed/improved?? Re-implements: Dark Shadows
